The Yayoi period begins when the culture of paddy rice farming was introduced from the continent and peninsula to the Japanese archipelago.
Paddy farming culture in Japan is said to have started in northern Kyushu, and it started in the 5th century BC . It was supposed to be around that time, but recent research has shown that it was late 10th century BC . The theory is becoming influential.
Earthenware from the early Yayoi period to the early Yayoi period in northern Kyushu was measured by the 14-year carbon measurement method. Around 900-800 BC The result was to concentrate on. Based on this result, it should be considered that the age when the inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago began full-scale paddy farming may date back to the 10th century BC.
In addition, it is said that the transmission speed of rice cultivation has spread to the Kinki region in just about 100 years, but if the above theory is proved, it will spread nationwide over hundreds of years.
In that case, the Jomon people did not immediately accept the rice culture, and the Yayoi people did not conquer the Japanese archipelago in a short period of time.
There is an image of a conflict when the Yayoi people write it as suppression, but there is no noticeable evidence of a conflict between the Jomon people and the migrants. The ruins of a village only for migrants have not yet been found in the village when the Yayoi culture began, but since there are villages where Jomon culture and Yayoi culture coexist, they are in the same village. It is said that they coexisted.
The idea from this is that instead of a large number of migrants visiting and becoming a majority and becoming Yayoi, the migrants and the indigenous Jomon people are mixed and the Jomon people accept the culture of the migrants. Isn't it more natural to think that the Yayoi culture was born by this?
However, this was not the case for the entire Japanese archipelago, and in Hokkaido and Okinawa, the Jomon culture remained for a long time, and there are some areas where intermediate culture remains.
Ancient Japanese history changes as the Yayoi culture goes back! ??
In Japan today, the era name and the Christian era are used together, but from the Meiji era to the prewar period, the first year was 660 BC, when the first Emperor Jimmu was enthroned. strong> ] Was also used in combination with the calendar era.
By the way, 2019 Is Imperial Year 2679 Will be.
It is said that Japan was formed 2679 years ago, but this era is late Jomon period . In Japan, it is said that a nation has not been established, and it is viewed negatively. However, as mentioned earlier, the fact that the start of Japanese paddy farming culture began around the 10th century BC will greatly redefine the views so far.
Wang Chong's [ Lunheng , written in the late Han era of China ], "At the time of the week, Taihei Tenka, dedicate the white pheasant, and tribute to the Wajin 鬯 艸" and "At the time of King Cheng, dedicate the pheasant, tribute to the Wajin" strong> Is written. This King Cheng is a person around the 11th century BC.
Until now, it was thought that there was no force called Wa in the Jomon period, so this [ argument ] Was not evaluated, but if recent research that the beginning of the Yayoi period dates back 500 years is proved, it is highly possible that Wakoku and power existed around this time.
If the theory that the beginning of the Yayoi period dates back 500 years is proved, it will change the evaluation and position of Japanese mythology including the founding of Emperor Jimmu and the ancient history of Japan.
